The etsy shop is officially opened!

https://www.etsy.com/shop/thesunnyalcove

Months of preparation, product testing and investment have finally lead me to this moment and I am so stoked! It has been a long time coming but I can finally say the online store is officially opened. I am still building inventory and testing new soaps and recipes for new products daily but we are opened for business.

Currently I have 2 tried and true soaps available for sale in the shop: 



This honey soap was crafted with sensitive skin in mind! It's creamy and soothing lather will surely leave your skin feeling softer while it's warm vanilla undertones relax your spirit. Buy it now!

Scent profile:
Low notes: Warm vanilla
Mid notes: Sweet clover honey
Low notes: French lavender 


Ingredients: raw shea butter, coconut oil, palm oil, sunflower oil, glycerin, honey, purified water, sodium hydroxide, sorbitan oleate, sorbitol, propylene glycol, lavender essential oil, vanilla essential oil, lemongrass essential oil







Pink and purple melt together with cosmetic grade glitter to give these crystals soaps and your skin some extra sparkle! Each crystal was hand carved and carefully placed to achieve a crystal cluster appearance. Buy it now!

Scent Profile:
Low Notes: White Musk and Cotton
Mid Notes: Gardenia
Top Notes: Fresh Cut Daisies 

Ingredients: raw shea butter, coconut oil, palm oil, sunflower oil, olive oil, glycerin, purified water, sodium hydroxide, sorbitan oleate, sorbitol, propylene glycol, lavender essential oil, daisy essential oil, lemongrass essential oil, cotton flower fragrance oil, white musk fragrance oil, glitter (cosmetic grade) VEGAN FRIENDLY.





During these growing pains I'd really appreciate any words of wisdom or recommendations that any other shop owners would like to pass down to me - what helped you stay organized? How do you store your inventory? What's your best advise for finding potential customers? 
Some of the products I'd like to introduce into the store this spring are more soaps, salt scrubs, sugar scrubs, beard and hair oils, salves and lotion bars. I have several of these products in the testing stages as we speak but before I go overboard I'd love to hear from you! What would you like to see in the shop? Do you have a favorite hard to find scent? Would targeted products (acne prone, dry skin, etc) interest you? Send me a private message or comment on this post with your suggestions!

My art & life + shop updates.


Big things are happening here at The Sunny Alcove! The coming year will be a big one and hopefully an amazing successful one! I will be opening up the etsy shop (finally), officially launch the patreon page (but you can support me now before the official launch too!), and hopefully be able to get some youtube videos/tutorials up for you lovely people. 
Here are a few of my practice sketches for some product I am working on, these are similar to the art style that will be available in my shop upon launch. Products will be prints, wooden wall decor, crochet wall decor, bookmarks and charms. In late 2018 I hope to add other items to the shop such as hand poured candles, homemade organic soaps, bath bombs and organic scrubs.

The Singer - my art.


It begins, as most things begin, with a song. In the beginning, after all, were the words, and they came with a tune. That was how the world was made, how the void was divided, how the lands and the stars and the dreams and the little gods and the animals, how all of them came into the world. They were sung.
The great beasts were sung into existence, after the Singer had done with the planets and the hills and the trees and the oceans and the lesser beasts. The cliffs that bound existence were sung, and the hunting grounds, and the dark.
Songs remain. They last. The right song can turn an emperor into a laughingstock, can bring down dynasties. A song can last long after the events and the people in it are dust and dreams and gone.

This is "The Singer".
Probably spent more time on this project than any other. By far my favorite.
Something like 30+ layers.
